Squeegiebo Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) This issue has been around for a long time, but it keeps getting swept under the rug. A then-local pathologist examined the brains of Mike Webster, Andre Waters, Terry Long and Justin Strzelczyk and found some alarming results. Link Hopefully these individuals' contributions will help us learn more. Edited January 30, 2009 by Squeegiebo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detlef Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 The N.F.L. says that, in regard to its players, the long-term effects of concussions are uncertain. Riiight. I mean, what a stretch. Dude gets pounded in the head over and over but it couldn't have anything to do with that. Johnson almost sound apologetic when he explains his motives which is really sad. Johnson added: “I’m not being vindictive. I’m not trying to reach up from the grave and get the N.F.L. But any doctor who doesn’t connect concussions with long-term effects should be ashamed of themselves.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
